With his ambitious, ruthless, and curious nature combining into one, he paves a bloody path to power. Shifting his gaze from the Earth towards the Sky, nothing will stop him on his path for strength. "I will touch the stars... or die trying." ==================== Note: NO R-18, R**e, Romance or pre-marital handholding. I take no pleasure in writing such things. There's a bunch of killing and gruesome descriptions though. The novel is a bit slow in the first chapters, but after that, it picks up and gets significantly better. Also, the power system is similar to BotDS, but I've asked the author for permission to use it. It's also heavily inspired my writing, but the beginning is where its most prevalent.

Corrupt

Liam spent the following week checking out the various facilities the academy offered. 

He had to skim through most of them, but he got the general gist of how each establishment worked.

For starters, battle halls were giant rectangular buildings built close to one another. 

The interior was similar to Liam's basement – vast empty floors illuminated by natural white lights, the walls of which were reinforced with steel and protective inscriptions.

It was also where students could do friendly duels, train, and wager their wealth, techniques and dwellings. 

Accepting a wager or duel wasn't mandatory, but paying a hefty fee of 10K Stones could grant you an 'Force Accept' slip. 

It cost a massive amount of money and any individual with half a brain would avoid pointless wagers… but nobles were a peculiar species. 

The slip forced the one challenged to either accept the wager, or pay the huge fee the slip cost.
